It’s hard to harness a thousand emotions and put them into words. I too am outraged over the death of George Floyd and the many senseless deaths before him. I am also outraged to see the destruction and violence in cities across the country. I cannot say that I understand how you feel because I can’t. I haven’t walked in your shoes. But believe me… I FEEL you. Your energy is tremendous and it is being received. I HEAR you. I SEE you. I CARE for you. I have always been about equality, peace, and love. I am also about action. “Be the change you want to see in the world.” That has been my mantra for as long as I can remember. I want to be a part of the change. A peaceful change. Violence does not solve violence. It just becomes a teeter-totter… where we shift from one broken system to another broken system. We need balance. We need to listen. To hear each other. We need to find a way to meet each other with an open heart. The pictures and stories below gave my heart hope. It is with peace and love, that true change can happen. I hope we see more of this and I hope this inspires others. I hope that we, as a community, can stand up and lead the way. Show others how to create a better world. I don’t have the answers, but I have an open heart. If you have some ideas or know of ways that we, as citizens, can help right now in a positive way…. please reach out!

We are stronger together. Much love to every one of you.
